What Came Next… - Episode 23: Sep 17, 2023: *Genesis A Trick of the Tail - Peter Gabriel, the unique and flamboyant lead singer of Genesis, decided to part ways with the band in 1975 after the conclusion of their tour supporting their 1974 album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. That album had been a major hit and, like the one before it, almost broke them on U.S. radio. With Gabriel gone the search was on for a new singer, and much of the British press thought the band should just call it quits. Instead, after a fruitless search, they settled on drummer Phil Collins, who had sung the odd song on some of their previous albums. A Trick of the Tail was a hit in the UK and, surprisingly, did moderately well in the U.S. as well.

The Tragedy Academy - Episode 171: 11 March 2025: *From Medical Survival to Unhinged Comedy: The Reawakening of Rachel - In this unforgettable episode of The Tragedy Academy Podcast, Jay sits down with Rachel, a survivor of Cranial-Cervical Instability (CCI) who spent 14 years misdiagnosed before undergoing life-saving neurosurgery. But Rachel isn't just an advocate—she's a brilliantly absurd comedian, the mastermind behind Cindy & Laurn, and proof that creativity and humor can survive even in the face of extreme hardship. / From locked-in syndrome to toilet-cam sketch comedy, Rachel's journey is one of survival, rediscovery, and raw authenticity.

Listen as she reconnects with the creative force that once defined her and prepares to bring her chaotic, unfiltered humor back to life. / Rachel's near-death experience - How she went from being misdiagnosed for 14 years to finding the right doctor who saved her life. / The reality of CCI & AAl - What this condition is, why it's often ignored, and how Al could revolutionize early diagnosis and treatment.

Her return to comedy - Why Cindy & Laurn were more than just characters—they were alarm bells, signaling something more profound about her journey. / The moment she realized she's still an artist - How she went from seeing herself as a patient to reclaiming her identity as a creator. / A challenge from Jay - Will Rachel turn Cindy & Laurn into an educational medical PSA series? (Spoiler: She's already considering it!) [I loved hearing this, and especially about Rachel still having that incredible creative spirit that made her Laurn Dakat video series on YouTube so good. Her battling of CCI is absolutely inspirational. A lovely person, and still a favourite guest of mine on Pods Like Us a few years ago.]
